Ender's Game

I finally got around to reading this one and I massively enjoyed it, it reminded me in some ways of Ready Player One (young talented kids maybe?). I definitely didn't see the twist coming and enjoyed where the story went at the end quarter of the book. I “liked” the way Ender was built into his commanding role, and the way that effected the people around him.

My criticisms would be that I felt Ender's age was just so young that it pushed my belief too far, i know it's sci-fi but I felt that his age just kind of had me thinking “but he's 6!” Often. Shifting it a few years would have made a huge difference to me. I also felt that the pace of the book was a bit off, could have spent longer on the events of the last quarter of the book.

I reckon I'd check out the rest of the series at some point, I want to see where he goes next...
